No offense, but opinions are common as grass - what matters is not
opinions, but evidence. Show me the code, and I'll tell you whether
or not it's a hack, and offer suggestions for improving it. Or you
can tell me why you think it's a hack, and I can suggest ways to
mitigate it. Or perhaps we will both agree, at that time, that it is
in fact a hack, and there's nothing to be done about it other than a
protocol enhancement.

(b) is the status quo. So you already have that predictability.
Adding another variable makes things less predictable, not more
predictable.
